Simplify duplication operations

Automate time-consuming routine operations

Imagine, you need to copy a lot of categories to a new website you’ve created within Magento. With all subcategories and products, category duplication becomes a very time-consuming and tedious task. Let the extension automate this process.

Save a great amount of time

Spend just a few minutes on extension installation. Magento duplicate categories tool allows you to free up a lot of time, which you can invest in your store development rather than routine tasks.

Accurate duplication tool

Choose parent category for the category being duplicated

You can choose which category will be a parent one for the category you duplicate. For example, you would like to copy category ‘Chairs’ to a different website within your Magento. You can choose which category will be parent for the duplicate in the new website.

Automatically modify category name, description, etc

It is possible to find and replace content for duplicate categories in name, description, meta keywords and meta description fields during duplication. Words from ‘Search For’ fields will be replaced with content from ‘Replace With’ field, you can fill in both fields.

Duplicate all subcategories and keep all product assignments (optional)

Use the module to copy categories and if needed to copy all subcategories of the duplicated category while duplication. You can keep all product assignments in the same way.

Perform more product actions at a time

To optimize your work with routine product management issues use also the Mass Product Actions module. It allows to fulfill this and much more other time consuming manager’s tasks just in a few clicks.

Product questions

Which particular category settings are duplicated with this extension?

If you copy categories with our extension, the following things are duplicated:

General information, including Description, Page Title, etc.

Display Settings

Custom Design (if applicable)

Products

Are new products created while duplicating a category?

No, duplicate products are not created. This means that a copy of the original category will have already existing products assigned to it.

Can I copy all product relations while duplicating a category?

Yes, you can copy all product relations by choosing parent category for the duplicate on the Duplicate Category page. Read on to see the settings.

Can I change the name and description of the duplicated category only?

Yes, of course, you can change any settings of the category you’ve copied. Moreover, you can use a “Find and Replace” option on the “Duplicate Category” page. With this functionality, you can automatically modify category name, description, etc. Follow the link to see the settings.

Does this extension mirror everything put in the original category even after the duplicate category is created?

While copying products from one category to another our module provides a one-time duplication option, so no new products are automatically added to the duplicate category once the original one gets updated.

Does this extension have the ability to copy categories from one store view to another?

Yes, sure, the extension offers a possibility to copy categories from one store view to another. Go on reading to see how to make it correctly.

It’s not kind of an extension you would use every day but it is worth the money spent even if used occasionally. It helped us to migrate our site and change its structure a little. I can’t even calculate the time this mod saved for us.
At first we had a few problems but support fixed them, thanks. But you’d better still create a backup before its installation and before duplicating the categories.

Helpfull but not perfect

Verry helpfull and reliable in duplicating categories, but one improvements would be fine (therefore one star is missing):
- Value of the field "is anchor" is always reseted to "no" instead of copying or asking for it. When copiing long catalog trees, thats a lot of clicking-work to do afterwards.

Awesome tool

I'm glad I've picked up this addon together with some more Amasty mods. The tool is as easy as it can be, and that's awesome, cause in our store we have to create a lot of similar categories and manually fill them with hundreds of products. Now the problem has gone, it takes me a couple of minutes to duplicate and edit a category. Thank you, guys!

Thank you, Amasty!

What would have taken me weeks to complete took me under an hour. When it comes to Magento and future work I might need, Amasty will be the first company I look to! Thank you!

The best module for categories duplicating I have found

First, i would like to thank developer(s) of "Duplicate Categories" extension.

I have looked around to find something like this, and finally i found it.

I'ts a great extension for duplicating categories. I'm using Magento 1.4.0.1 and it just work perfect.
I now can duplicate the whole root category to a new "root category" or to any of the existing "categories" with all sub-categories and product-relations without any problem.

It saved me a lot of time. : )

I would recommend using this module on 1.4 too.
You can first try a demo, if you want to, in 1.4.x.x

Great extension

Andrei installed this extension in our development environment for testing after we purchased the extension for testing. It worked perfectly! He also installed it in our production environment when we wanted to go live. This is a very responsive developer and support is great!

Wow has this extension save us some time. Don't know how we could have operated without it. I'm finally getting around to writing reviews and now realise how many extensions we have from Amasty (7 and counting) and we are thrilled with them and their developer who always provides professional helpful and human support.

Perfect timesaver

I just purchased and installed this timesaver.

What can I say - It works absolutely flawless. It has been the first extension i've bought which installs without any problems, works without any problems. We are on vServer (not dedicated) and it runs perfectly. Deleting the duplicated categories have not been a problem - i tried everything out.
As always on Amasty Extensions -> No Spaghetti Code in the extension. Other extensions have messed up many things in our store, but never on Amasty's work.
